Today is my 3rd time going to NJ MVC to obtain my drivers license. First time to obtain my lincense international drivers licence irs not recognised that i need paper one not plastics....second time i was told i need to have a NOA1 to states my status still my I-94 expires in couples of days...Finally i went today with my passport, SSN, NOA1 of AOS, Medical Insurance, Wedding Certificate......still they turned me down by saying that does not show my legal status...as snyone done is drivers lincence here in NJ

It can be quite difficult to obtain a drivers license without a work permit or green card. I tried it myself, it took them almost three months to verify me completely. NOA1 shows an authorized stay, but not all DMV's accept them as proof. You'll have to wait for either your work permit or green card and return.

Drivers licenses are issued at state level, and each state has its own documentary requirements, so you can't compare experiences without knowing what state the person resides in. Because you can board airlines and open bank accounts with your drivers license, the requirements are strict. Perhaps you'll find NJ's online document selector with its 6-point ID verification help, linked below, useful. Follow the requirements to the letter and you'll be fine.

The difference is not only at a state level but there are differences between DMV's themselves. 

 

My wife and I have experience dealing with NJ DMV and I can tell you that I understand. It took 3 tries. The first DMV simply would not take any documents other than the Green Card itself. So one day I decided to try another DMV. It was bit of a ways away but they at least let her take the written exam. She was able to take the driving test only after her EAD/AP (they didn't require the actual Green Card) was approved. It is one of the downfalls of doing the K1 visa... you are constantly in limbo.

 

 

Good luck and remember, YMMV.

Washington, NJ DMV. She took her Intl License, SS card, marriage license, her I94, and a bill that i put in her name. You can use the DMV to see which of your documents will total the 6 points.

 

After the written exam they told my wife she could take the driving test when she receives her EAD/AP card. But my wife's Green Card arrived only one week after the EAD/ AP card so she used that. 

 

If your I94 has expired and you still haven't received you EAD or GC then that may be another problem.
